I have made a case that Locke's definition of injustice (from which he deduced that liberty must be the predicate of justice) in reality calls for mutual respect (of a basic kind--taking one another into account).

If injustice is being "subject to the arbitrary will" of another person, then the most immediate inference for justice is that everyone must refrain from subjecting any other person to one's own arbitrary will.

That is mutual respect.
